If you鈥檝e been looking for a big, huge, multi-generational epic set in a gorgeous European city in which to lose yourself this summer 鈥� look no further. Bestselling author Edward Rutherfurd (author of 鈥淣ew York: The Novel,鈥� 鈥淟ondon: The Novel,鈥� and 鈥淩usska: The Novel of Russia鈥�) is back, this time training his literary sights on the City of Light. Focusing on the noble family de Cygne, Rutherfurd sweeps his story from the Belle 脡poque back to the 13th century and then ahead again as far as 1968. Blending history, culture, and family drama, Rutherfurd has created the literary equivalent of an overstuffed mille-feuille. Best consumed while on vacation.
